Did you know that 27 per cent of Canada's population identifies as having one or more disability?  

According to a Deloitte study, businesses with inclusive cultures are eight times more likely to achieve better business outcomes. 

It just makes good business sense to access this talent pool and yet employers often resist hiring student with disabilities.

Staff, faculty, and community members are invited to attend either of the upcoming Transition to Work events and learn about workplace accommodations, and some tips and tools to help employers.
